DtBlkFx

DtBlkFx is a free multi fx and eq and filter and vocoder and pitch shifter and delay and distortion and flanger and phaser VST plugin developed by Darrell Tam. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

DtBlkFx is a Fast-Fourier-Transform (FFT) spectral processing plug-in.

Features:

Precision parametric equalizing with sharp-roll off:

Set the frequencies so accurately that you can adjust individual harmonics of a sound.

Frequency resolutions of up to 0.7 Hz.

Harmonic based (or comb) filtering:

Set a fundamental frequency and adjust the level of it and its harmonics – you can even remove the pitched component of a voice.

Active harmonic tracking – let DtBlkFx automatically track a sound and adjust the level of its harmonics.

Various types of noise control:

Change the “contrast” between loud and soft frequency components.

Adjust only those frequencies below or above a particular threshold.

Clip frequencies above a particular threshold.

Sound smearing (phase randomizing).

Frequency shifting:

Harmonic shifting by a fixed number of notes.

Non-harmonic shifting by a fixed frequency.

Active harmonic repitch – the content of your sound is monitored and re-pitched to a destination note.

Vocoding:

Standard (frequency enveloping) – make your trumpet rap, string section sing or synthesizer talk.

Harmonic based – harmonics in one channel are power-matched to those in the other (or some predefined waveforms) for a new vocoding sound.

Frequency masking:

A harmonic or threshold mask may be set for any effect (apart from vocoding) – for example only shift frequencies that are below the threshold.

Realtime spectrogram (waterfall) display of input and output sounds:

See what frequency components are in your sound and exactly what you’ve done.

Use your mouse to see the note & frequency under the pointer.

You can select up to 4 of the above effects to be run in series – combining the effects in this way allows you to make completely new and surprising sounds.

DtBlkFx is freely distributable and is covered by the terms of the GNU licensing agreement. Source code is included.

DrumTROOP

DrumTROOP is a free drum machine and rompler VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by DUBturbo. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

It’s your weapon of mass production! Free 16x Drum Machine With New To Market Sounds & Expansions. DrumTROOP is a great alternative to constantly creating kits from scratch or messing around with bloated on board functions in most drum vst’s. We made everything simple, your DAW takes care of treatments/fx per pad, and we utilize all 128 triggers for every kit vs just the 16 main sounds.

Quick feature list:

32x/64x – mac/pc – vst/au
* 16outputs (one per pad, and the rest of the keys are added/split into the last three).

* We use all 128 triggers on every kit.

* 16-20 sounds per kit (some kits are full = 100+ samples).

* Universal drum placement on the first 8 pads.

* One shot expansions + construction kit expansions.

* .wav files come with MOST of the expansions (all but one actually).

* Quick on board Vol, Pan, Attack, Release per pad (the rest is done in your daw, no fx/bloat inside).

* Cool skins that change per expansion.

* 3 different setups among 3 different templates (16x, 12x, 4x, in span/romp/rr/mixed formats).

* 90% never released content – hidden surprises everywhere (including extra sounds in the .wav folders).

* MIDI files coming soon with a ton of drum patterns in many genres to help you get going on a composition fast.

Drift

Drift is a free multi fx Audio Unit plugin developed by Sinevibes. Compatible OS(s): macOS.

Drift is a multi-effects processor based on two independent Lorenz chaos oscillators. These systems are used by scientists to model convection in liquids and gases: they produce chaotically fluctuating, never-repeating signals that are mutually correlated. Drift uses one Lorenz oscillator to apply two-dimensional modulation onto an effect unit with filters, phasers and phasers – and another such oscillator is applied onto output level and stereo pan. With this, Drift is able to give any sound the dynamic characteristics of wind gusts, air turbulence, ocean waves or water bubbles.

All of Drift‘s functionality is neatly presented by an intuitive interface wholly built with color-coded graphics. It features graphic representations of the two Lorenz oscillators as well as subtle animations for all controls, for a pleasant, natural user experience. Together with careful parameter calibration, this makes Drift an always enjoyable, yet very musical and productive tool.

Sound engine:

Two Lorenz chaos oscillators with adjustable speed and output curve shaping.

Multi-effect unit featuring 15 different filter, phaser and flanger algorithms.

Four modulation destinations: two effect parameters, output level, and stereo pan.

Interface:

Real-time graphics for Lorenz chaos oscillators.

Color-coded controls with lightly animated transitions.

Fully hardware-accelerated rendering with support for Retina screen resolution.

Compatibility:

Works with any application that supports Audio Unit effect plugins.

Supports OS X 10.6 or later running on 32 or 64-bit Intel Macs.
